THE WEEKS WORK
Outlined In the senate and House
RaDrRsantAtiyea,

Outlined In the senate and House of
Representatives.
WASHINGTON, d. c., December 1.-THE
Senate is expected to formally elect its
committee tomorrow, thus ratifying the
work which the Republicans on their part
have already performed in caucus, and
which the Democrats will have accom-
plished before the body is called to order.
Little besides the introduction of bills is
likely TO occur during the remainder of the
week in the open sessions Of the Senate.
The President has before HIM three
hundred and siNty-tve messages nomi-
mating pOstmasters alone, all OF whom
have been appointed during the recess of
Congress and are already announced,
which messages he will send to the Senate
as fast rs he can examine and sign them.
Other recess nominations, sufficient to
bring the number up to about six hun
dred, are expected during the week
Daily secret sessions are likely to occur
for the purpose of reading and referring
these, and it is possible that some of the
Cabinet nominations already sent TO the
Senate, but not yet laid before that body.
may be reported for sction before the end
Of the week
All the Important committees will hold
meetings during the week, for the purpose
Of organization, and of surveying prelim-
mary the work before them.
The daily sessions and long adjourn
ments may be expected in the House of
Representatives is week.
1t is possible that day may be set apart
for the introduction OF bills, but several
prominent members are known to be op-
posed TO continuance of this practice;
and their Objectness may result in defer
ring the opportunity until after the an
BOuneement Of the committees.
The Speaker will sppoint the Committee
on Rules within a day OF two, and recess
for two days will probably be taken, in or
der to allow that committee an apportu-
nifty to consider and report upon the var
ious propositions that have already been
introduced, looking to amendments of the
former rules.
Mr.. McCreary's resolution, requiring
the general appropriation bills to be re-.
ported tosthe House by the committees
within sixty days after their appointment
during the long session, will probably be
speedily and fsvorably reported hy::the

THE SOCIAL REVOLUTION.
Spies Lit the Haymarket Bomb and
Schnaubelt Threw Ii.

Schnaubelt Threw 1t.
CHICAGO, ILL, December 11.-There
are many facts about the Haymarket mas
sscre which have never been brought to
light The great question in the minds
of the people mas been as to whether the
witness Harry Gilmer, who swore he saw
Spies light the bomb just before Schnau-
belt threw it, was telling the truth or not.
Messrs. Walker and Furthmann, who
were Mr.. Grinnell's assistants, have been
talking, and have given out things
swore only to the truth, as they
tested him thoroughly before he was
put upon the stand. After the bomb ex-
ploded Mrs. Parsons was Swallowed con
tinually and her rooms watched all the
time One night some one slipped letter
under her door OF course she never got
the letter.
1t was brimful OF sympathy for herself
and her husband, and was signed W. s.,
257 West Lake street.
William Snyder and Thomas Brown
were arrested, and Snyder's handwriting
correspOnded to that in the letter. He
and Brown had denied being at the Hay
market, hut were induced to confess.
Gilmer had said they were there, and he
uuhesitatingly identified them in crowd
OF twenty or thirty men at the sta
ton. Ths showed Gilmer was not
lying. He saw Snyder help Fielden off the
wagon after the explosion. Brown was
the man, also, who walked with Parsons to
the DeSplaines street viaduCt after the eX
plOsiOn, aud gave him s. to leave town
with, after advising him to 90. Gilmer
had described Schnaubett accurately, and
when Schwab's house was raided his pic
ture was found in the album by Furth-
man.
Mrs Schwah was much disturbed when
the photograph WIS discovered. Gilmer
afterward identified it as the picture
of the nau who threw the bomb
after Spies lighted it. The defense
put man who looked like Spies
on the stand, who swore he lighted the
match in the alley to light his pipe, and
the State made good point on this, as,
if Gilmer had been liar the defense
would not have thus tried to discredit his
testimony in this particular. Spies jumped
off the wagon as soon as the police crossed
Randolph aud left Fielden to do the talk
ing and confront the police. Then it was
that he inaugurated the social revolution
and lighted the bomb which Schnaubelt

BURCHARD REDIVIVUS.
Presented 30 Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland-An
Interesting Scene.

Interesting Scene.
WASHINGTON, December II. There
was an amusing incident at the White
House yesterday afternoon on the occasion
of the President and Mrs Cleveland's re-
ception to the Evangelical Alliance, which
numbered about two thousand guests.
There was a number Of distinguished
gentlemen of the Alliance conversing
with some OF the most eminent divines
of the country. In the rear end Of
the line of people who filed past the Pres.
ident and Mrs. Cleveland was meek little
man, whose dress and demeanor gave him
the appearance of one perhaps high in the
religious world. The modest little man
was the object Of some interest by even
those who did not know him, because Of
his retiring and unostentatious manner.
As each person passed the President and
his wife they were introduced to
both Mr.. and Mrs Cleveland. Some
stopped long enough to remark some
pleasantries and engage half minute or
more in conversation. Finally the little
Ilodest mans turn came, and as il pre-
pared for the surprise about to be sprung
on the audience, the Rev Mr.. Dodge, who
had been assigned the duty Of making the
introductions, became more solemn and
grave than ever, and with a very per
ceptible increase in the strength Of
his voice he introduced to the President
the famous little DR.. Burchard, the
author of the famous ALTERATION, Rum,
Romananism, and Rebellion" The
President clasped his hand tightly, and said
he was glad To see the reverend gentleman,
with emphasis on the glad" every one
who knew the conspicuous place occupied
by Burchsrd in the history Of the last
Presidential campaign laughed with come
degree of relish, and for the next ten
minutes those who had not had
the honor made rush to
form the acquaintance of the meek little
man For the time he was almost as big
a man as was Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Burch.
ard seemed to heartily enjoy the matter,
and acted like a man who WAS willing To
assume the responsibility of having elected
Mr.. Cleveland TO the high office he fills
Before departing he went hack and shook
the hand of Mr.. Cleveland for a second
time.
